Re: My Public Aquarium: exhibit blues - how to make them?
I second the notion above! I realise it's not truly your thing, and that you run a rescue of sorts, but has it never been a bit tempting to just use one of all the tanks for something like a massive cory school or why not a 10.000 guppies? Now I would also like to keep large fish one day but I doubt...

Re: Sick corydoras
I would disable co2+ferts and do a couple of large(slightly cold) waterchanges and see what happens, hope for the best.

Re: A not so experienced pleco keeper chugging along, L397 for start!
Now I am back with an update and some questions. The corydora(CW009) seems to miracously have made a full recovery and I added two more, so they are 7 instead of 5!, and don't plan to touch that tank for the forseeable future. The big thing for me is that I have ordered a third tank a 95x40x45 centi...

Re: Hemorrhagic septicemia, any tips?
Nitrite poisoning can cause these symptoms, you say these are new fish in quarantine? Possibly a small cycle spike adding the new fish and the stress of acclimation has left them vulnerable to the symptoms of it, but the weaker one(s) got hit harder. And now that it's bouncing back better, it's lik...

Re: Hemorrhagic septicemia, any tips?
Hemorrhaging septicemia seems to often be the last step in a chain of afflictions. The fish turns reddish over large portions of the body, the fins turn reddish too. I am not vet but when my fish had it before, I'd say it wasn't contagious, but i recall some peers stating/believing the opposite. It...

Re: Hemorrhagic septicemia, any tips?
I don't wan't to say too much but looks like the fish might live after all, at the time I wrote the original post it was laying on top of the internal filter upside down and breathing from the surface. After a day and a half in a bucket with some catappaleaves and very oxynegated water I decided to ...

I did isolate it in a bucket with a cycled spongefilter and now when I woke up it swims around like always I don't really know what to do, don't have a heater for it either since the aquarium they(the cw009) are in is infact the quarantine guess ill have to setup a new quarantine for the future, sad...

Hemorrhagic septicemia, any tips?
Sadly one of the, cw009, corys I got a handful of days ago have hemmorhagic septicemia, didn't even consider it(and never had to deal with it before) and thought it was either a mechanical injury or something wrong with the water but after pinpointing it I am as sure as I have ever been about diagno...

Re: A not so experienced pleco keeper chugging along, L397 for start!
My first big setback since being back into the hobby. One of the new corydoras seems to have hurt itself somehow and got a bloody mouth, feels really bad but sometimes life gives you lemons. Anyway not sure what to do, might try to treat it with some salt or anti bacterial. Just wan't to know what c...

Re: A not so experienced pleco keeper chugging along, L397 for start!
The L134:s didn't show but I couldn't resist buying another corydoras type, the CW009 "Green Laser". I am not so sure I will ever financially recover and the L134s will probably be passed on to someone else, the small tank will just be for the CW009 and maybe a couple of guppy or something...

Re: Someting strange inside BN pleco's gills or fake ?
Looks like it's simply flaring but got some, rather far progressed, fungal infection? I am totally guessing here just to be clear.

Always top tier videos, wish I also had reptiles lurking around the house! Only downside living in such a climate are the snakes I guess Beautiful fish in matching boxes, I also prefer the natural finage though.

That's what I suspected but you know there is always hope haha Plan on moving sometime next spring so hopefully by then? I also think they look really healthy, atleast if color is a way to tell, but hard for me to judge.

Re: Planning major overhaul of tank this week, remove plecos or not?
Also is it wishful thinking this one might be female? Looks round over the middle to me but maybe it's to small to tell or not enough with one pic. Not the same fish as in previous pic, I am pretty sure that one is starting to get some hair despite being quite small so should be male?

Anyway I am simply a bit afraid of moving the plecos and how to do it, should I just net them up and place them in a bucket for photo session and will they be fine in there for an hour two? Should I place them in a larger container with spongefilter/airstone? Maybe it's best to just let them be in ...
